Співці ненависті (2026)

Across Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, a disturbing shift is reshaping the refugee experience. When the conflict erupted on February 24, 2022, Central European communities opened their doors to Ukrainian families, welcoming mostly women and children with gratitude. Today, that initial hospitality has increasingly given way to organized intimidation. What fuels this sudden backlash against those once celebrated as displaced persons? How are regional politicians actively stoking the flames of division? The Kyiv Independent’s newest documentary explores these pressing questions by tracing escalating anti-Ukrainian campaigns throughout the region’s primary host nations. Lead reporter Danylo Mokryk directs a research unit that documents firsthand accounts of targeted abuse while dissecting tens of thousands of recent X posts. By connecting viral digital vitriol with inflammatory campaign rhetoric, the film exposes how online prejudice rapidly materializes into physical threats on the ground.
